Computer Graphic Design (40008-70)
The module first presents how computers are used to create symbols and pictures. It also explores the impact these graphics have in advertisements, business’ and associations’ stationery, and promotional items like t-shirts and note pads. Students also learn the principles that explain why such items are produced and the purpose they serve for today’s organizations. With this foundation of knowledge, students try out their own creative ideas and skills with various computer graphic techniques.
Students continue by exploring more complex applications of graphic design software. They use their expanding abilities to create logos and stationery for companies (either real or fictional). Students also complete independent-study projects, for which they determine their objectives and plans for meeting these goals.
